Lord, at thy table we beholdThe wonders of thy grace,But most of all admire that weShould find a welcome place,—

2

We, who were all defiled with sin,And rebels to our God,—We, who have crucified thy Son,And trampled on his blood.

3

What strange surprising grace is this,That we, so lost, have room!Jesus our weary souls invites,And freely bids us come.
